Interesting new paper in The Economic Journal.
The study relies on machine learning to show that the political leanings of economists influence the language they use, but also the very estimates they produce in a way that aligns the policy being promoted with their partisan opinion.

👹 When does abusive supervision and managers pass as "tough love"?
💔 According to a recent piece in OBHDP by Robert Lount Woohee Choi & B J Tepper it's all about the perceived performance of those supervisors or managers.
